J12: Enugu women sabi cook food sha. I remember when men dey observe iyaba for railway quaters, that woman ofeakwu is the best i've ever tasted in my life.

Chai! The ofe akwu! Very different kind of stew for your rice. Made from the palm fruit.

I think the most inventive food chefs are the locals of Nsukka zone. You need to try the following foods to understand what I mean.

Otupiri with mgbu-ngbu (that strong tiny beans specie) Otupiri is a maize extract, the combination na die!

Achicha, this is made of dried cocoyam left for many months to blend. Achicha is cooked with lots of additives, beans, leaves and other local seasoning.

Agharagha (also called ayaraya by the locals) this one is the normal yam, sliced into tiny bits and mixed with oil and some local seasoning, no leaves.

Their own moi moi is very different, their okpa is among the best, (they cook it in empty metal tins not wrapped with leaves)

From Nsukka zone also comes the smelly okpei, a local food seasoning that is much tastier than all the maggi, knorr and royco money can buy. My mother learnt how to cook all these foods while we were living there.

You can see, my childhood was very memorable in Enugu-Ezike, Nsukka zone.

spyder880:

No, I am from Nkanu East, but my father was a school head master in Ogurute when I was born there. He settled there. My mom was a class teacher at CPS Nkpamte Ulo.

No wonder you’re clever ....Mr Spyder

J12:

Abeg, na shoprite we go chop? The only places I usually enjoy in enugu is Toscana, 8 hours, afro lounge and a few others. apart from these, that place is boring, especially during december.

spyder880: I was born in Enugu state, Nsukka zone, had my primary education in Enugu Ezike and later left for secondary education in my local govt of Nkanu, I was in Ozalla Boys for 6 years. I have lived in Udi zone for the past 20 years, working and doing business everywhere, especially in the capital city of Enugu. So you can see there are very few people that knows Enugu like I know it. The 3 senatorial zones of Enugu will be covered in my analysis of Enugu, maybe this thread will change a few things, and make our government to think (if they still have that ability)

vanstanzy: Enugu, Eba no o. Don't worry Owerri will catch-up. But i love this two cities sha.
Bluetooth and other Ibo haters' on Nairaland PLEASE keep-off this thread.

Forza p: What is enugu?never heard of it b4 oo

afam4eva:
I'm happy with the way Enugu and Owerri are shaping up gradually. I hope something will be done for our commercial cities(Aba, Onitsha and Nnewi) and our food basket(Abakaliki) and other Igbo towns and cities(Asaba, Awka, Unuahia, Afikpo, Orlu, Okigwe etc).
